Relatives of Jesus

 

6-4 BC/BCE: This is the probable range of dates for the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, Judea (modern Beit Lahm, West Bank). Matthew 2:1. Some believe that the Simeon who blessed the infant Jesus (Luke 2:25-35) was Shimon ben Hillel, the nasi of the Sanhedrin and a son of Rabbi Hillel. Shimon was the father of Rabbi Gamaliel and, since the family was descended from King David, they were all distant relatives of Jesus.  Acts 5:34-39, 22:3.
